Ingredients

Salmon

  • pounds salmon filets, skin removed, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated sugar

  • Lime wedges, for garnish

Lime Oil

  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice, about 2 limes
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, chili powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and sugar.
  • Place salmon in a large bowl and gently toss with the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
  • Thread salmon and pineapple onto skewers, alternating pieces and leaving slight space between each.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Divide into two bowls, one for brushing and one for serving.
  • Brush the grill grates with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Place skewers on the grill.
  • Brush with lime oil and cook for 12 to 14 minutes, turning and brushing every few minutes, until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  • Serve with lime wedges and reserved lime oil for dipping.
